The Moorabool News broke the story last July that the
horizon was to be transformed (M/News 30 July 2019)
and ‘tensions could run high’. It is now a reality, and
rural communities that are the gateway to the Central
Highlands, are devastated.
Multi-national Company AusNet Services and the
Andrews State Government are planning to run high
voltage transmission lines, above ground, through
70-kilometres of Moorabool, and Myrniong local
Emma Muir, for one, is already fighting it.
“It’s raping our beautiful rural landscape, our farming
properties that have fifth and sixth generation families
living on them,” Ms Muir told the Moorabool News.
“This beautiful landscape, they’re going to wreck it,”
she said.
Ms Muir met with a ‘consultant’ from SP Ausnet on
her property last week – when, she says, he offered her
a monetary gift voucher to sign paperwork on the spot
allowing the company to explore her property.
“His job is to get us to sign paperwork to say ‘come
on through all the aboriginal cultural heritage, the
biodiversity, the soil testing, all of that and it’s not to
see if the power lines can come through, it’s to check if
there’s anything that means they can’t come through.
He offered me a $500 gift voucher. I told him I’m not
signing it. I’ll burn it.”
The fifth generation Muir farm has had over 10,000
trees planted as part of a community project that has
seen 50,000 trees already planted with the help of
Landcare, as well as Biolink and Grow West. Ms Muir
said these plantings would suffer greatly because
anything growing over three metres tall near the
power line alignment route, would be bulldozed.

Power over people

Continued from page 1
Ms Muir said the farm would have the high voltage lines
cutting diagonally right through it, according to a map the
consultant showed her.
“The map shows a limited choice being considered – it has
one corridor only, with four different options as to how the
lines could be put through that corridor.”
The project will run through 70 kilometres of the Moorabool
Shire including the towns and hamlets of Coimadai,
Merrimu, Darley, Myrniong, Greendale, Bunding through to
Bolwarrh. The alignment skirts the edge of the Lerderderg
State forest.
The projected 190km route is from Bulgana near Ararat,
directly to Sydenham.
It is alleged the power will go directly to Melbourne, only
providing for metropolitan residents but tariffs will be on
everyone’s bills, to help cover the project cost of $400million.
“The rural communities will pay for it on our power bills and
it is power that’s not coming to us, it’s going to Melbourne,”
Ms Muir said.
The consultant told Ms Muir he is going to be speaking with
about 100 property owners.
“The guy said to me, the towers can go within 65 metres
of a house. I said, ‘are you kidding me? These towers are
85-metres tall, and each tower buzzes!”
The MCG light towers are exactly 85-metres tall by
comparison.
“The only thing he cared about was when I said, ‘I’ll fight
you, every step of the way. We are going to go hell for leather
on you, we will fight you to the absolute death.’”
A final decision on the placings of the high voltage power
lines is expected in April 2022.
Ms Muir said initial concerns should be directed to local
members including Michaela Settle (Member for Buninyong)
and Steve McGhie (Member for Melton).
AusNet Services/Mondo
AusNet Services/Mondo was awarded the contract
to build, construct and own the Western Victoria
Transmission Line in December 2019.
The transmission line in Moorabool Shire is 500kV and
will span 70km from east to west across the Shire. It
is alleged the new terminal station could also be built
in Moorabool, however their website states ‘north of
Ballarat’.
CALL TO ACTION
Ms Muir is calling the community to action and has
organised a community meeting, observing COVID-19
restrictions, to be held outside at the Myrniong
Recreation Reserve on Saturday 20 June from 10am.

“This gig is
about money”
By Helen Tatchell
The power from the transmission lines
set to run through 70-kilometres of the
Moorabool Shire, will benefit the votes
in Melbourne according to Central Ward
Councillor Paul Tatchell.
“Underground power may be four times
more expensive, but using the Governments
own numbers game, that means that the 70
above ground infrastructure which would
likely result in greater environmental,
social and economic impact’.
“Even the fairies in the garden would be
giggling at this type of spin,” Cr Tatchell

money; they are trying to hide the real cost ADVERTISEMENT

“Going underground is the right option
because once it is in it is done, whilst above
ground transmission lines have a use-by
date and we will all have to pay for it again,”
he said.
Cr Tatchell said the Bushfire Royal
Commission stated all powerlines should
now go underground.
The Western Victoria Transmission
Network Project say on their website that
underground is not possible because,
‘Underground transmission cables require
the digging of wide and deep trenches to lay
the cables underground as well as additional
politics,” Cr Tatchell said.
“This project highlights the hypocrisy
and inconsistencies of State Government.
The agenda here can’t be about progressive
infrastructure when money drives a
regressive outcome,” he said.
“The contempt for the rural sector
particularly Moorabool, continues to shine
through.”
Cr Tatchell said, “They gold plate the city
on the peoples credit card”.
“But when it comes to the bush, they find
the cheapest solution and we beg for our
supper.”

(L-R) Member for Melton Steve McGhie and Moorabool Mayor David Edwards look over a list of potential
projects to benefit from the State Governments Growing Suburbs Fund at Darley Park. Photo – Helen Tatchell
Funding for a growing Moorabool
Council is looking at their shovel-ready projects after
hearing Local Government Victoria has allocated $25
million to fund Council projects.
Moorabool Shire Mayor Cr David Edwards has
welcomed the very good news that the Peri-Urban
Group of Councils is eligible to apply for funding
under the State Government’s Growing Suburbs
Fund.
Cr Edwards, a former chair of the Peri-Urban Group
of Councils, said it was great news for communities
such as Moorabool to be included in this fund.
Local Government Victoria has allocated $25 million
to fund Council projects, with the maximum each
Council can apply for set at 10% ($2.5 million).
“The guidelines state we can apply for a number of
shovel-ready projects, or just one project, as long as
they are community-based projects,” Cr Edwards
said.
“This can include projects such as community
centres, libraries, sports pavilions and streetscape
upgrades,” he said.
Cr Edwards said Member for Melton Steve McGhie
and Member for Buninyong Michaela Settle were
strong advocates for projects in Moorabool and
lobbied “their Government to ensure Councils on the
suburban fringe, such as Moorabool, were included
in this fund.”
Mr McGhie said the fund will support the local
area’s growing needs.
“Improving our local facilities is vital for our growing

community, ensuring services are appropriately
equipped and in the right place.”
“I encourage Moorabool Shire to apply, so their
rapidly growing local communities get the facilities
they need and deserve.”
The expanded fund now includes six peri-urban
councils experiencing strong population growth,
ensuring projects are being delivered where they are
needed most.
Previously the Fund was only available to
Melbourne’s 10 interface councils and will now
allow Moorabool, Baw Baw, Golden Plains, Macedon
Ranges, Bass Coast and Surf Coast access to the Fund.
Cr Edwards said in the past the Peri-Urban Group
were excluded from the Fund yet, the Councils all
had higher growth rates.
“We have been lobbying for a long time and it is
pleasing to see the government has recognised the
inequities and allowed the Group access to this Fund.
Member for Melton Steve McGhie was recognised
by Cr Edwards, saying he led a lot of the conversation
on this issue.
“It is a great outcome and will provide an enormous
amount of assistance.
“We as a Council need to have a look at what
shovel-ready projects we have ready to go that can
start within 6 months of funding being announced –
which will be in August – and completed within 12
months of construction commencing, as per the State
Government guidelines,” Cr Edwards said.

Deadline looms
for budget
submissions
By Kate Taylor
The countdown is on for residents to make submissions about Moorabool
Shire Council’s proposed 2020-2021 annual Budget.
The deadline for submissions is Tuesday 23 June and the draft proposes
a two per cent rates rise, in line with the state government’s ‘fair go’ rates
policy.
Some properties however may see a decrease or a higher increase and, this
is due to property valuations and not council.
One section of the budget, titled ‘New Initiatives,’ contains more than
$600,000 including maintenance boosts and extra funding for economic
development.
Under New Initiatives, the maintenance program for sealed roads is set to
increase by $50,000 while the unsealed roads network will have a budget
increase of $48,000. Maintenance for playgrounds will be increased by
$40,000 for the year and the maintenance program for footpaths will also
receive a $40,000 boost.
The Moorabool Waste Management and Resource Recovery Strategy will
be reviewed, at a cost of $40,000, with Moorabool’s Economic Development
Strategy to also be updated, at a cost of $50,000.
‘Efficiency Improvements’ in Customer Service are set to cost $170,000, with
Council’s CEO Derek Madden explaining to the Moorabool News how it
will be spent.
“This initiative aims at realigning Customer Service to the needs of a
modern and growing shire, supporting a shift towards a consistent, reliable
and efficient customer experience for local residents, business owners,
visitors and others contacting Council,” Mr Maddern said.
“This is aligned with the Council Actions 1B - Review of customer service
strategy and policy and Develop and implement the action plan of the
customer service policy and strategy. The following areas of work have
been identified: increase the number of requests resolved at the first point
of contact, improve resolution timeframes, increase the range of services
available online (e.g. website, live chat), renew our customer charter and
develop a quality assurance framework, monitor performance and customer
satisfaction and upskill the team.
“This will be achieved by investing in staff, training, customer research and
consulting,” he said.
Major business events hosted by council are set to cost $74,000 and the
Gateway Strategy has been allocated $60,000.
Mr Madden outlined the events to be hosted by council.
“The proposed budget allocation will be used by the economic development
team to design a new and exciting calendar of business events, to continue
the great networking events we held over the past 12 months,” he told the
Moorabool News.
“Last year, we had a Women in Business event with 60 participants and two
business breakfasts with keynote speakers, each attended by more than 100
people.
“We want to host similar events with a focus on providing relevant and
engaging information to the local business community.”
The proposed draft budget is available to view on council’s website.

Dear Editor,
Below is a letter I sent to our State Victorian Labor
Premier, Daniel Andrews.
“Dear Mr Premier,
This is a short email expressing concerns which my wife and
I have over the proposal of Bacchus March as the dumping
ground for the toxic soil (PFAS, asbestos, lead, arsenic,
mercury etc).
To begin with let me just say how we fully support your
responses to recent challenges such as:
• bush fires
• covid19
• “getting the job done” (infrastructure etc)
However, just the fact that Bacchus Marsh could even
be considered as an option to take the toxic soil is just
unthinkable for us. As parents of two girls in Bacchus Marsh
Grammar we are horrified with the whole idea. The proposed
site would only be 800m away from the school which houses
thousands of students.
Not to mention other residents, business, farms, etc in the
area.
Can anyone explain the logic behind this proposal?
Will you be able to explain to our kids why they would need
to change schools (BMG is the only decent school in our area)
and why the government is trying to poison them?
Australia is huge, so surely you can find another area to
store/treat this soil without putting in danger so many lives?
It’s time to come to your senses and get back to “getting the
job done”, but the proper way.
Awaiting your prompt response.”
Chris Smith
Eynesbury
Dear Editor,
After dealing with the impact of
catastrophic bushfires, years of drought
and now the pressures of the COVID-19
pandemic our farmers need some certainty.
In recent years, massive increases to farm
rates in some Local Government Areas have
pushed up farmers’ rates burden by tens of
thousands of dollars.
With many councils now having released
draft budgets, it seems our farmers will
again be shouldering an increasingly heavy
burden.
I again call on the State Government to put
a freeze on all rates categories this financial
year to help to build confidence and ease the
squeeze on farm budgets.
In a year where many councils have also
taken a massive hit from the impact of
bushfires and the coronavirus, the Andrews
Government must also play its part.
By helping councils cover any loss in
revenue, it will ensure the important role of
councils can continue uninterrupted during
these difficult times.
Many Victorians are doing it tough this
year.
A massive rates hike is the last pressure
they can afford to shoulder.
Peter Walsh
Leader of The Nationals
Relief in budget
for residents and
businesses
By Kate Taylor
It is called the ‘Fair Go’ rates capping policy and will see some residents and
businesses hand over money with one hand to Council, yet on the other, there is
relief, according to the proposed annual budget.
In releasing the draft budget, which residents have until Tuesday 23 June to make
a submission about, the proposed two per cent rates rise is not only in line with the
state government’s ‘fair go’ rates capping policy – but it will also be given back to
the community in the form of coronavirus relief.
Mayor David Edwards told the Moorabool News that council is committed to
allocating an amount at least equivalent to the revenue generated from a two per
cent rate increase to help those in the community most impacted by the effects of
the COVID-19 pandemic.
“It’s very pleasing to see the Draft Budget has made provision for those who most
need help during this time, as should be the case,” Cr Edwards said.
Council has already put several steps in place to cater for those who need assistance,
including extending rates payments until 30 September with no interest.
A specific covid-19 ‘hardship policy’ will also be implemented, to provide
financial relief to residents and businesses who need it the most and 12-month
extensions on expiry will be given for septic and planning permit applications due
to financial hardship.
Rent/ground hire fees will be waived until 30 September 2020 for all occupiers of
Council buildings and facilities that have been required to close and rent will also
be waived, until 30 September, for businesses occupying Council buildings and
facilities that have been required to close.
Council has ensured that payment of local suppliers occurs weekly to improve
business cash flow and it also developed a ‘buy local’ campaign supporting
hospitality businesses.
Budget submissions close on Tuesday 23 June.

A man with 23-pages of criminal history

appeared in the Bacchus Marsh Magistrate’s

Marsh man, appeared before Magistrate Bob
Kumar in a self-represented bail application.

Got a business? Are you on the register?

By Caitlin Bewley
(3rd Yr Swinburne Uni)
Ballan Police are currently reviewing
their after-hours business register for the
township, ensuring contact details with
business owners and managers is accurate.
Acting Sergeant Nick Wallace told the
Moorabool News the process is to ensure
business owners and managers will be
contacted if their establishment is broken
into or damaged after-hours.
“This is a process we’ve always had and
gets updated every couple of years. Most
businesses we’ve already been in contact
with,” A-Sgt Wallace said.
“It’s only fair on business owners and
managers they are informed as soon
as possible rather than discovering for
themselves later on.
“Having said that, unfortunately there will
be times when police do not become aware
that a business has been burgled or damaged
during the night and will discover it for
themselves,” Sgt Wallace said.
If your business has not updated their after-
hours contact information, police are asking
for business owners and managers to get in
contact with Ballan Police on 5368 1303 as
soon as possible.
causing the victim to leave and then followed
to a Queens Crescent property where he was
assaulted with a metal pole.
It was alleged Yearsley hit the victim in the
neck with the pole, causing the male victim
to walk towards the accused, who ran off.
A neighbour filed a noise complaint with
police attending the scene at approximately
9:15pm.
Yearsley and the co-accused then returned
to the victim’s address at 9:50pm, argued
with the victim, ending in a physical
altercation that was seen by witnesses.
The court heard police knocked on the
co-accuser’s door later that evening telling
them he hadn’t seen or heard from Yearsley
however, police located the metal pole in the
co-accused’s garden bed.
Police arrested Yearsley in the main street
passers-by.
“The accused has 23-pages of criminal
history,” the police informant told the court.
He argued Yearsley did not show compelling
reason to be granted bail.
When asked by Magistrate Bob Kumar if
he had anything to ask the informant about
the summary, Yearsley said he had nothing
because “it was all wrong.”
“I’m not a danger to the community. I live
with an old lady who has dementia. I do a lot
of work for her,” Yearsley said.
“I started off wrong in life, didn’t I”
Magistrate Kumar refused Yearsley’s bail
application and was remanded to reappear
in the Bacchus Marsh Magistrate’s court on
July 3 via video link.

Reliable source digs

up ‘false’ dirt
By Helen Tatchell
A leading campaigner for Bacchus Marsh
Community Coalition, has created panic and
hysteria after taking to social media, publicly
announcing in an ‘Urgent! Emergency
Update’, that Maddingley Brown Coal would
be receiving “toxic soil”.
Kat Barlow said in a live post she was,
“horrified and furious” after receiving
updated information in regard to toxic soil
coming to MBC.
“What we know is MBC will be receiving
West Gate Tunnel soil on Monday (15 June),
PFAS soil, from the project, not tunnelling
soil, not soil that is part of the proposal, soil
that has already been excavated from the
WGTP with PFAS in.”
Ms Barlow said it was “leaching into our
waterways and now going to be dumped at
MBC that is not a purpose-built facility.”
“We have been lied to, tricked and left in
the dark with no transparency whatsoever
about this soil.”
However, a Maddingley Brown Coal
spokesperson told the Moorabool News,
“reports that MBC would be receiving West
Gate Tunnel spoil from Monday (yesterday)
are false”.
“MBC has applied for planning and
environmental approvals to build a facility
to receive project spoil and, will only receive
it after the relevant approvals have been
granted and a contract is signed.”
A social media post from ‘Bacchus Marsh
says NO to Toxic Waste’ said, “this update
comes from a very reliable inside source who
has never been wrong before.”
Ms Barlow said their sources for information
were highly regarded and this source “is
trusted and we will never divulge our
source”.
“We keep our sources absolutely secret,”
she said.
Member for Melton Steve McGhie answered
a social media question, “is soil from the
WGTP coming here on Monday?”
Mr McGhie said, “No, it’s further mistruths
being circulated.”
“The tunnel boring hasn’t started and they
(MBC) can’t bring in the soil without the EPA
and Planning permit which they don’t have,” Category C PFAS soil, Ms Barlow again took
he said. to social media acknowledging MBC were
In an attempt to retract her initial claim legally allowed to receive Category C PFAS
that MBC were bringing in 500-tonnes of soil.

Fungi flourishes Wood heaters

but be wary
By Alison Pouliot
The recent widespread rains have produced
an astonishing diversity and abundance of
mushrooms this autumn. Fungi in every
imaginable form and colour are popping up
in parks and gardens and local forests.
However, along with the increase in
mushrooms has been an increase in calls to
the Poisons Information Centre, for suspected
mushroom poisonings. One common
species appearing on nature strips in the
Moorabool Shire is Agaricus xanthodermus
(yellow stainer mushroom). Commonly
confused with edible field mushrooms, this
species contains a compound called phenol
that causes gastrointestinal distress, with
symptoms such as nausea, stomach cramps,
vomiting and diarrhoea.
The yellow stainer differs from edible
field mushrooms in that it typically grows
in ruderal environments such as gardens,
nature strips, track edges, golf courses and
other disturbed habitats including managed
paddocks. It has a distinctive phenolic odour,
often described as being ‘medicinal’, carbolic
or like disinfectant or Band-Aids and with a
sharp ‘chemical edge’.
If the cap of the mushroom is scratched with
a fingernail it turns vibrant chrome yellow
almost instantaneously. However, if the
specimen has been exposed to wind or heat
and are dry, the yellow staining is not always
apparent.
These mushrooms often grow closely
crowded together in rings or arcs, and when
young, have squarish, marshmallow-shaped
edges.
Remember that there are no simple rules
for distinguishing edible mushrooms from
poisonous mushrooms, despite the many
idioms or sayings. To minimise the chance
of poisoning, always assume a mushroom
is toxic, unless an authoritative source
definitively states it is edible. When learning
to identify fungi, it is best to go out and
observe just one species, so you become
familiar with the extent of variation that can
occur at different developmental stages, and
with exposure to differing environmental
conditions.
Although some fungi are toxic to humans,
remember that all fungi perform vital
Ecologist, Dr Alison Pouliot runs mushroom
identification courses in the Shire.

shaped when young. Photos – Alison Pouliot
functions in our local ecosystems, recycling
nutrients and holding soils together. Many
fungi form connections with a huge variety
of plants in what is known as mycorrhizal
symbioses. In these subterranean alliances,
fungi greatly extend plant root systems,
helping them to access water and nutrients.
Fungi also improve the resilience and health
of plants by increasing their drought tolerance
and resistance to soil-borne disease. So, it’s
best to leave them be and enjoy the results
of their industrious activities in helping our
parks, forests and gardens flourish.
and smoke
It’s cold outside and for
many Moorabool residents
that means a trip to the
woodyard and firing up the
wood burning heater. Envi-
ronment Protection Author-
ity Victoria (EPA) has some
simple steps to minimise
how smoke can impact on
your health.
An EPA spokesperson said
it’s important for people to
understand how their heater
operates and to use appro-
priate fuel.
“This will be specified in
the heater’s operating man-
ual and by using the correct
fuel your heater will run
more efficiently.  • Never overload your wood heater with too much wood.
“It’s also a good idea to
have your flue profession-
ally checked and cleaned
before winter begins to en-
sure it’s clean and free from
obstructions.”
The spokesperson said this
will help prevent flue fires,
unnecessary smoke, and
ensure the heater operates
correctly.
Never burn household
rubbish, driftwood, treated
wood or painted wood. It is
sure to pollute the air and it
can produce toxic gases.
Whilst the impact of a single
wood heater may be small–
the cumulative impact on air
quality, particularly through
autumn and winter, is sig-
nificant – but many of the air
pollution problems associ-
ated with wood heating can
be prevented or minimised
by operating your heater
correctly.  
Tips on reducing
smoke pollution
• Only purchase a wood heater that is certified to the
Australian Standards AS/NZS 4012:2014 and AS/NZS
4013:2014 
• Ensure your heater is installed by a licensed person in
accordance with the Building Act 1993. 
• Before winter have your flue professionally checked and
cleaned. 
• Refer to the manufacturer’s operation manual for
instructions specific to your wood heater model. 
• Burn only dry, seasoned, good burning and untreated
wood. 
• Get a hot fire going quickly with plenty of paper and
small kindling. 
• Keep the air controls set high enough to keep the fire
burning brightly. 
 
• Never leave your heater to smoulder overnight. This
starves the fire of oxygen, producing more smoke and
air pollution. 
• Go outside and check the chimney occasionally for
smoke emissions. 
• Consider the wellbeing of your neighbours. 
• If you are concerned about the impacts of wood heater
smoke on air quality, consider using other forms of
energy for heating that produce less smoke, such as
energy efficient gas or electric heaters.
Tips on buying firewood
• If buying wood to use immediately, always buy dry,
seasoned, good burning and untreated wood, preferably
hard wood.
• Refer to your heater manufacturer’s operation manual to
identify the correct fuel to purchase. 
• Because unseasoned wood has a high moisture content
it is hard to ignite, slow to burn and produces more
smoke and less heat. It can cause your heater flue to
clog up more quickly.
• You can save money by purchasing unseasoned
firewood in early spring and storing it in a well-ventilated
shed or other covered area until winter. Freshly cut
wood should be stored for at least 8 to 12 months prior
to use. It is best to stack wood in a crisscross pattern to
allow air flow.

Delight on the track

By Tim O’Connor

It was party time for the Nicholson

team on Friday night after Bullys
Delight returned to racing with a long-
odds success at Tabcorp Park Melton.
The five-year-old hadn’t been seen at
the races or the trials since April, but
proved he was good to go with a sprint
lane victory in the DNR Logistics Pace
(1720m, NR 70-77).
The horse was given a great drive by
Rhys Nicholson - the son of trainer
John - who found the early lead and
then handed up to Pradason, which he
collared in the run to the line.
“30-1, when we get a winner like that,
you know there is a party isn’t there?
Dad had him spot on and he showed it
tonight,” Rhys Nicholson said.
“He has had a lot of groundwork,
the horse. He’s been off the place, had
a couple of hobbles and Dad has just
taken his time.
“He said he was ready, I said next week.
Obviously, the old boy is still right and
I’m wrong. He proved it again.”
Trained in Mt Cottrell, Bullys Delight
has now scored eight wins from 48
career runs for more than $60,000 in
prizemoney.
While there was only one winner, it was
a good night for the whole Nicholson
team. Stablemates Smart Little Shard
and Its Back In The Day both turned
in impressive performances while
finishing second and third respectively.

Friday evening for his winning double.
In-form young trotter Pink Galahs
made it three wins in succession
this preparation by taking out the
Alderbaran Park Trot (1720m, NR 61-
74) narrowly over stablemate Gus An
Maori, before Miss What Usain broke a
run of narrow defeats to claim victory
in the Catanach’s Jewellers Pace (1720m,
mares NR 55-66).
Later in the card, Grant Campbell-
trained Glenavril King continued his
super sequence of form since arriving
at the Great Western stable with a fifth
win from six starts.
Driver Kerryn Manning had to get
busy on the four-year-old a long way
from home, but he responded to score
a convincing triumph in the TAB Long
May We Play Pace (2240m, 4YO and
older).
“He’s quite a lazy horse and you’ve got
to make him do everything and tonight
he had an open bridle for the first time,”
Manning explained.
“He was looking at everything. He
was looking at the people on the inside
down the back and half wanting to pull
up and there was nothing near him
either. If something (comes) near him,
he sort of gets up on the bit a bit.
“He was very lazy and I had to keep
reminding him to concentrate.”
Glenavril King was trained by Barry
Dunn up until April this year, but had
only won two of 19 starts.
Racing returns to Melton on Saturday
night.
